DANVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Police in Danville say they have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with the weekend shooting of an officer.
Danville Public Safety Director Larry Thomason says Michael Rouse of Ridge Farm was arrested Saturday night. Rouse surrendered to police after they surrounded a home where had run.
According to court records, Rouse was arrested on a warrant charging him with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery of a peace officer with a firearm and other charges. He has not yet entered a plea and is being held on $5 million bond.
